Ideation 8,216 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 If you have never trained a spaniel or are new to dogs i would not recommend a cocker as they are mental and very hard work and do not calm down untill they are about 3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beddylurcher 70 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 thanks for the iv never had a pure spanial only ever had labxspringers witch was easy to train and fast to mature. atb andy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jf1970 328 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 i have had 3 cockers over the past 8 yrs and find them very trainable, loyal and hard working. You could say that about most breeds, but to pick one for what you want it for then i would go with cocker every time, but like ideation says, if you havn't trained a dog before then a spanial might not be for you.
